Yes I've seen some good reviews. I appreciate Robert Macfarlane's work and perspective on language, and he also said good things about the book: "It's a magnificent work of scholarship & vision".

The only 'great' thing about Trump is that he often reveals exactly what he is doing or intends to do by telling you what he is not or will not be doing.

Also brings to mind the following from Henry Corbin:
![Henry Corbin, in his book "Alone with the Alone, Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn Arabi" (New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1998, p.170 & 172) writes: “If the mystic thus came to exemplify the Image of the Creative Feminine, we understand how Maryam could become its prototype and how, in one of the finest pages of his Mathnawi, Jalaluddin Rumi could substitute her for the mystic. The episode of the Annunciation now becomes one of the symbols verifying the maxim that he who knows himself knows his Lord: Essentially it is the ‘sophianity’ of the mystic’s being (typified by Maryam) which conditions his vision of the Angel, that is, which defines his capacity for theophanic vision, his capacity for the vision of a form in which the invisible and the sensible are conjoined, or
symbolize one another [...]
Because it is impossible to prove God, there is no other answer than to ‘make oneself capable of God.’ Indeed, as Jalaluddin Rumi also says, each of our eternal individualities is a word, a divine Word, emitted by the Breath of Divine Compassion. When this Word penetrates the mystic’s heart (as it penetrates Maryam through the Angel’s Breath), that is, when the ‘secret of his Lord’ unfolds to his consciousness, when divine inspiration invests his heart and soul, ‘his nature is such that there is born within him a spiritual Child (walad ma`nawī) having the breath of Christ which resuscitates the dead’.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j67wdgmevsgl277uqtm66o63/bafkreiggwuabck27gbriol4onyhd7yjr4qwwhvp2uyz5kjbywfubi5ansq@jpeg)

And I will be up there with you! 😂 We have garden service companies here that utilise more than one leaf blower simultaneously, and my collective noun for them is “a cacophony of leaf blowers”.
